AD Nautic

Formerly known as Accastillage Diffusion, the brand has adopted an international name while retaining its logo featuring the two shackles. This major player in marine equipment relies on a network of franchised stores specializing in shipchandling, dedicated to the equipment and maintenance of recreational boats. Today, the AD Nautic network includes nearly 80 outlets in France and around 30 in Spain. Beyond this European base, the network also has locations in key sailing areas. “The network is built on three pillars: technical expertise, brand affinity, and catalogue depth,” emphasizes Michael Amoros, Director of the AD Nautic franchise network.

From the Canary Islands to the Caribbean, and as far as the Pacific and Indian Oceans, AD Nautic has established a presence along major maritime routes. Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Tahiti, Nouméa, Madagascar, and Phuket serve as supply points for parts and equipment during stopovers. “The goal is to support boaters throughout their journey, wherever they sail,” explains Sylvain Mizzi, Brand and Customer Experience Director.

At sea, needs are not always predictable. Maintenance, part replacements, onboard comfort improvements, and occasional interventions are part of everyday life, with a key constraint: rapid access to the necessary equipment, especially during technical stopovers. In this context, the issue is not just purchasing, but product availability and the network’s ability to ensure continuity of service from one region to another.
In addition to its physical presence, AD Nautic offers an extensive catalogue. Around 15,000 items are available in-store, and up to 20,000 online, across thirteen product categories covering the main onboard needs.
